Puzzler
Of The Day.
What
is the one word life has never let man create?
One
that defines a thing, a creature that survives through consuming itself.
(“Yeah! --
why won’t life allow that?”)
Many
say man’s truly distinguishing feature is speech; some his tool making;
others
his self awareness, but no
--
what
is most unusual (hell, astounding!) is that men will pay to see other men.
(“And nobody finds anything weird about the whole concept of, being
entertained.”)

Admission
Price: What you pay someone else for
the way they were born.
(“Okay then: what’s the admission to get inside and see yourself?”
The
better question is: How do you submit same?
--
how
can you be both the ticket taker and
the attendee?)
If
you think that certain descriptions of man and life you read are biographical,
then
either you are of ordinary mind or the author is.
As
long as you are critical of a thing you remain stupid of it.
An
apparently sports inclined father said to a son:
“The
best thing about being quarterback is that you can never be off
sides,”
an
observation that quite startled some of the lad’s unprepared thoughts.
One
man asks: “You ever notice how, as people get older,
they
begin to look more and more like themselves?”
Another
guy observes: “Some people who are dumb --
won’t admit it.”
When
one man heard the latest Official
Pronouncement
from
some organization or the other, he thought: “What we need is
an
Organization
To Prevent The Formation Of Any More Organizations,”
which
was immediately followed by his mental picture of having:
“The
Thought Not To Have Any More Dumb Thoughts.”
One
man had a sickness that had no symptoms (other than being alive).
What
is most needed in ordinary minds and all of man’s culture
are
problems with no solution;
intangible.
verbal/mental-dependent situations whose only possible alteration is
the
adding-to
the situation.
Indeed,
man’s so called state-of-sleep could be seen as a condition of consciousness
whereby is perceived a world of endlessly appearing troubles
which
seem immune to conclusive resolution.
The
only way that some things (actually just one thing) can persist
is
via their vexation of man’s mind.
(“Is this a neat [actually: weird] universe or what?!”
Compared
to which other ones?)
There
is one man who emphatically insists on always having-the-last-word,
but
in his case with a different twist: it's the final word with
himself.
Another
guy applied one of his email protocols to his mind (to wit):
the
deleting of all messages after they are read once.
Your
dog of attention will bark at other people’s cars passing by
-- and at itself,
(which
is to say): at its impression that your mental car sitting in the driveway
is
actually in motion, and going somewhere (and do note):
a
conclusive word is not possible in the case of a delusion.
Hormones’
& Neurons’ Verrazano Narrowtization.
One
city is so cautious that no citizen is issued a library card without proof
of
rabies
immunization.
(And
everyone is painfully aware that the most inauspicious place a person
can
be bitten is in the Reference Department.)
First
man said:
“If
anticipation was any more enjoyable --
I’d die!”
and
a second chap said:
“If
anticipation was any more painful --
I’d wish
I was dead!”
and
a third guy, overhearing this as he was passing by thought:
“Those
poor chumps ain’t seen nothing
yet.”
There
are two subjects on which all ordinary minds can easily and agilely speak:
on
how bad things are with man, and on how likely they are to get worse.
Only
the nervous system rebel thinks about matters outside the normal
neural
city limits of mankind’s collective mind and thus about the real
possibilities
of
how man could
be.
(“Hey! --
don’t dump on me --
unless you’re a garbage man.”
Fact:
In the city part of the mind: All ideas are garbage men.
[At
least part time.])
Though
not a member of the film community: once a year one man holds a private
ceremony wherein he announces himself as the winner in the:
Best
Supporting Actor In The Role Of Himself category.
“I
want to thank everyone (that is: every cell in my body)
responsible
for me deserving this award:
thank
you all -- each
and everyone of you --
so very, very
much.”
(He
also says he is considering changing the stated basis for the recognition,
to
be more in line with the tenor of his acceptance speech.)
At
odd times one man likes to sing to himself:
“Nobody know the troubles I’ve seen,
nobody knows but my troubles detector...”
And
at super odd times one guy tries to disconnect his detector
--
over
the urgent warnings of the danger in doing so by his ordinary mind.
From
still another perspective: to be (as it's called)unenlightened
is to see the dangers.
Which
brings to mind a man who says the funniest thing he’s ever experienced
in life
is
men finding being-alive
to be dangerous. (“Compared
to being what else?” he muses.)
“Quiet
down,” said the man at the podium, “it's time for today’s Announcement:
There
are things that occur in the mind of man which no one can ever understand,”
and
as the crowd was reacting to the comment he muttered to someone on stage:
“That’s not true, but Boy!
-- do men’s minds ever love to
hear that kinda crap.”
(At
least one benefit): Collective thinking can’t commit suicide.
(“I must say that a few of us do not see that as beneficial.”
Say
it if you must, but --
do something about it if you can.)
Prisoners
who have never seen
daylight can be quite inexpensively kept passive.
The
materials of the Universe
provides your brain,
and
Life, your mind:
question:
What have you
contributed?
Pointing
to his head, one chap said:
“In
these here wilds: ruttin' season is year ‘round.”
The
certain man’s relentless attempt to do the impossible results in his case
with
the idea of the impossible
being writ not in a continuous strip of neon,
but
in unconnected incandescent bulbs.
(“The better to disarm and seduce you, My Dear.”)
Question.
Compared
to an outboard motor: what’s the sound of a man trying to awaken?
Rut,rut!
